Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nucleated propylene-ethylene-butylene-terpolymers comprising monomer units selected from propylene, butylene, and ethylene and showing improved stiffness, better impact behaviour and improved optical properties as well as low haze, and low amounts of soluble or extractable fractions.
  • the present invention further relates to final articles made of such nucleated propylene-ethylene-butylene-terpolymers and the use of such nucleated propylene-ethylene-butylene-terpolymers.
  • Polymers like polypropylene, are increasingly used in different demanding applications. At the same time there is a continuous search for tailored polymers which meet the requirements of these applications.
  • Polymers with higher stiffness can be converted to articles with lower wall thickness, allowing material and energy savings.
  • Polymers with good optical properties, especially low haze, are desired for consumer related articles to provide good "see-through” properties on the content of the packed goods.
  • Polymers with good impact behaviour are also desired in consumer related articles to safely keep the content even when dropped.
  • Stiffness can for instance be improved by increasing the crystallinity and/or the relative amount of homopolymer within the composition. As a consequence, the material becomes more brittle, thereby resulting in poor impact properties and/or worse optical properties.
  • Impact behaviour or optical properties can be improved by increasing the comonomer content. As a consequence the material will become softer and loose on stiffness. Thus impact or optical properties such as haze behave in a conflicting manner to stiffness.
  • a polymer with increased content of comonomer(s) will have a higher amount of soluble or extractable fractions. So impact and optical behaviour behave also in a conflicting manner to soluble content or extractability in the sense of Xylene solubles (XCS).
  • XCS Xylene solubles
  • the optomechanical ability can be determined by multiplying Flexural Modulus and notched impact strength and putting this product in relation to haze determined on 1 mm plaques.

  • phthalate-free polypropylene suitable for various applications, e.g. in the field of packaging and medical applications as well as personal care, or personal hygiene.
  • WO 2012007430 also incorporated herein by reference, is one example of a limited number of patent applications, describing phthalate free catalysts based on citraconate as internal donor.
  • WO2016025326 provides formulations and processes for random terpolymers having a xylene solubles content between 5 - 8 wt.-% which may be used for preparing extrusion blow molded and thermoformed articles. It gives some improvements of gloss and top load especially on bottles. The patent however is not concerned with low extractability in the sense of low xylene solubles or improving the transparency in the sense of haze.
  • EP 15171769 filed 12.06.2015 is a process application for copolymerization of C3 and higher alpha-olefins (C4/C6), co- and terpolymers with phthalate free Sirius catalyst in the Borstar PP process.
